Chapter 1

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Some may have noticed that RM is not included in this story! It was going to be kept a secret but there will be a continuation of this story that focuses solely on RM and Jin... No need to worry, he is not forgotten!!!

Jungkook was very invested in his job as a librarian. He never thought that he could land a job in Disneyland, yet, somehow, he did. Most of the thoughts jumping around in Jungkook’s mind were full of excitement, but he was also very nervous about this new opportunity. The library was huge, something Jungkook didn’t entirely imagine upon glancing at the building from outside. He knew upon first glance that this was going to be very different from his previous occupation at his small hometown library. As Jungkook walked into the library, he looked at all the books resting on the massive shelves, amazed at the sight of them. Jungkook jumped suddenly as he heard a voice echo from behind him.

“Enjoying the view?” Jungkook whirled around to see an unfamiliar face staring back at him. “My name’s V. I own this library. You must be Jungkook.”

Jungkook nodded his head as he looked V up and down, analyzing his seemingly odd but professional attire. “Yes, I am.”

“Great,” V sighs, his entire demeanor changing. His shoulders slump and he loses his professional composure. He actually seems pretty tired. “You have a lot of work to start on.” He shoves a pile of books into Jungkook’s arms. V turns to leave but looks back to Jungkook and tells him one last thing. “Oh yeah, be careful. Some of the books here like to fly around if you open them, so, uhm, don’t.” Jungkook opens his mouth to question this statement, but V has already walked away into the depths of the enormous library.

Jungkook stared blankly as V left without another word, watching him walk away. Instead of speaking out to V, Jungkook looks down to the books in his arms, confused. Some books were thin and others were unreasonably thick. As Jungkook stared at the books, he quickly questioned exactly what he was supposed to do with them. He looked up and opened his mouth to speak again, and remembered that V wasn’t there. Jungkook puffed out his cheeks, and moved to a nearby table to set the books down. His hands glided across the covers of the books to feel each surface before he spread the books out. Out of all the books presented on the table, one seemed to stand out against the others, Jungkook’s eyes widening at the sight.

The cover was laced with intricate patterns rising from the cover in pleasing crests and dips. Jungkook ran his hand across this cover with extra care allowing his fingers to trace the elegant lines of the designs as they seemed to move across the cover. He took a deep breath and let it out as he read the cover quietly to himself.

“Orenda…” Jungkook whispered as he moved his hand to the side of the cover, opening the book carefully. As he flipped to the first page, V’s words quickly reminded him that he shouldn’t open the books because they would… fly? Jungkook stopped opening the book for a moment, only to shrug and completely open to the first page. The small writing on the page was almost too hard to read, especially with the font of the text being similar to cursive. Jungkook squinted as he attempted to read some of the words to himself.

However, just as he had begun to grasp what the words were telling him, the pages of the book started to flutter as if some wind of mysterious origins was trying to blow it away. Panicked, Jungkook tried to hold the pages down, but to no avail. To Jungkook’s great horror and confusion, the book began to rise from the table. Jungkook reached out his hand and slammed it back down, but the book wriggled its way out of his grasp and took off into the air. He stood, frozen for a moment, watching as the book flapped its covers like wings and flew across the library, gaining height by the second. Jungkook shook his head and came to his senses. He had to catch this book.

As if on impulse, Jungkook grabbed the nearest thing to throw at the flying book, which just so happened to be yet another book that was laying on the table. He had never been that good with his aim as the book completely missed the flying one and crashed against a bookshelf, hitting the floor with loud thuds. Jungkook cringed at the sounds and prayed that V didn’t come back to see him throwing books at the one thing he wasn’t supposed to cause. His next idea was to start to climb up a bookshelf, which wasn’t entirely a good idea either, but something has to work to catch that book. Right?

“Descendit.” A voice echoed from the other side of the room. The book fell from the air, hitting the floor with a thump. V. “Why does this always happen?” Jungkook turned to see that he had his head in his hands, looking even more tired than before. “Why do the new librarians never listen? This is the second time today.”

“I- Well… That book was very, uh, tempting, to say the least.” Jungkook muttered, ashamed that he had been caught messing with the books. “The cover was so intricately detailed that I… I couldn’t resist seeing what was lurking on the pages inside. And the title of the book… It just sounded magical!” Jungkook began to emphasize his words and moving his hands around as he spoke, trying to make sure he wouldn’t get into too much trouble for breaking the rules so soon.

V huffed out a sigh in frustration. For a brief moment, it almost seemed as if there was a laugh hidden within the breathy sound, but Jungkook decided that he was imagining it. “Listen, I understand. Kind of. These books can be alluring, especially to an aspiring librarian, but you are going to have to learn to listen to me or nothing is going to get done around here. Especially if I am to be teaching you the magic of this place.” V sighed once more and shook his head in disappointment. Wait, magic? “The other librarian I hired today did the same thing. You two are going to be a handful.” Other librarian? “Alright,” he said, clapping his hands. “That’s enough for today. I’ll clean up your mess. You should go to your room. As you are working at this library, you will also be staying here. Your room is down the hall, the last door on the right. Don’t get lost.”

Jungkook had planned to respond but he decided against it, instead deciding to walk to his room. He nodded and turned around, walking towards the hallway that led to his new room. As he walked, he once again admired the multitude of books on the many bookshelves. Looking at the books, Jungkook hadn’t been paying attention to where he was going and ran into a wall that happened to be right next to the hallway. He let out a small, “Oof,” and backed away from the wall, looking a bit perplexed at the situation he put himself in. He quickly stepped into the hallways and sped-walk down it, hoping that V did not see.

When Jungkook stepped into his room, he was shocked. This shock, firstly, stemmed from the pure majesty of the room. It was much bigger than he had expected of a library, even one from Disney. Jungkook was surprised that the library even had a bedroom, or any extra rooms at all, really. The room had a surprising amount of space in it as well and an intricate, arched window stood on the back wall of the room in glittering beauty. Jungkook was surprised to see that there was not one, but two beds in the room. What caught him off guard, however, was the person sitting on the bed to the left of the room. The person looked up at him and smiled, it was like sunshine. Jungkook’s heart stopped; he knew this person. The beauty sitting on the bed was none other than his boyfriend, Jimin.

“What are you doing here?” Jungkook asked, clearly confused at the situation. He walked over from the door to sit on the bed beside Jimin.

Jimin smiled brightly. “I was hoping you would be surprised!” He was bouncing up and down with joy as he spoke. Jungkook found it endearing. “When you told me you got the job here I applied too. I didn’t want to leave you to go here alone. When I actually got the job I didn’t want to tell you, I wanted it to be a surprise.” Jimin was absolutely beaming up at Jungkook, happy to have surprised him. Jungkook smiled warmly, though he was still pretty shocked, and reached his hand over to ruffle Jimin’s fluffy blond hair.

“Aww… You’re the best, my little Mochi.” Jungkook smiled softly and he wrapped his arms around Jimin’s neck to give him a big, warm hug. Jungkook never wanted to let go of Jimin, enjoying how Jimin hugged him back. This moment seemed almost perfect. A new and exciting job, a wondrous place to live, and of course, the best company that anyone could ask for, all right here.
